For nearly 25 years, I've reported from protests and picket lines, sit-ins and squats, documenting various anti-fascist political protests and movements, and interviewed numerous campaigners, academics, activists, and unsung heroes of anti-capitalist struggle. I've gathered together - and am continuing - some of my writing via a brand-new newsletter called The SilenceBreaker (the name I've often been associated with), documenting the failures of state socialism and the futility of electoral politics, arriving now at "the beautiful idea" of direct democracy. What's different about it? In an era of unprecedented information pollution, climate collapse, and an ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, I'm hoping to offer you a bit of a breath of fresh air, with perspectives you're unlikely to hear in media from the capitalist class, clout chasers, or conspiracy theorists, all with no paywalls, no corporate or state funding, no conspiracy theories, no press releases or product promotions disguised as news, no ads, and no "AI." You can sign up for free or by paid subscription where you can also post comments and support this work through that — or just a one-off tip if you'd prefer. Or just spread the word! Thanks so much!
